Subaru Performance E STI Concept Details

Subaru has revealed very few details regarding its performance concept, but the company has stated that the Performance-E STI has been designed by the brand’s prestigious heritage and offers a driver-focussed layout with a comfortable and spacious interior. 

The 4-door sporty sedan concept has a striking resemblance to Subaru’s Iconic Group A winner finished with dark blue paint, gold wheels and pink STI detailing. In terms of mechanics, the concept is powered by a dual-axle powertrain integrated with a 4-wheel drive, which is according to the predetermined standards of Subaru's iconic performance cars like the rally-bred WRX.
